Parents need to know that this documentary-style series follows real criminal investigations. Crimes described and depicted include rape, murder, and kidnapping. Though the re-enactments aren't terribly graphic -- showing only some arguing and mild physical violence -- the descriptions offered by the narrator and during interviews are very vivid and explicit, including details like the duration of a sexual assault. Bones, teeth, blood, and other forensic evidence appear onscreen, though briefly and often not realistically.
